Boosted’s New Electric Skateboard Goes Farther, Is Less Punk

Boosted made its longboard safer, faster, and more fun to ride. But somehow less punk-rock. This $1,000 electric skateboard, with a handheld trigger and a cool, bright orange Halloween color scheme, is the rideable of choice right now. That’s saying something, too: hoverboards came and went, there are countless versions of the self-balancing unicycle, and you can Razor your way around town for a lot less than a grand. But, at least here, it’s Boosted or bust.
